Pros

Many brilliant people remain, strong value proposition, customer base and book of business. New head of sales from SAP with fresh ideas. The integrated vision for a unified/automated/connected lab is attractive to many companies. Biovia remains on the cutting edge of accelerating innovation and offers a unique connection into PLM.

Cons

Being able to deliver against completion is becoming a more serious challenge. Extremely slow development with far too many products to maintain and integrate into the vision. It all looks great on paper/slides but the company remains challenged year on year to deliver. The decline of business, significant turn-over of executives, sales, business leaders and domain experts is not a good sign of internal confidence. So many acquired companies should have Biovia well over $200M but the sum of those parts remains far less than the whole.

Pros

An exciting position within the industry. Some great knowledgeable colleagues providing some fascinating insight. Strong backing from DS and some long-standing valuable customer relationships.

Cons

Real lack of strong management across multiple functions and with it the required accountability to get things done. There is a vast ammount of book passing and 'that's not my role, ask somebody else' that it seems the end result is that the customer isn't being heard. A considerable number of people have left this year and many roles still haven't been recruited for which leaves a rather desolate environment with the water cooler topics tending to guess who's leaving next....

Pros

The Dassault Systemes BIOVIA brand offers many Pros to employees - working in an exciting space (LifeSciences/Scientific discovery industries) with truly transformational offerings unrivalled in the market today. With the backing of DS there is a large enough war chest to achieve the company’s objectives supporting employees to do their jobs and be successful in the process.

Cons

BIOVIA is made up of many acquisitions and having been acquired by Dassault Systemes itself there are the usual growing pains to work through. The market isn’t fully ready yet to realise the full potential of BIOVIA as it is so disruptive to traditional ways of working.
